Looks Like a Reflection.

The five conductors running on the
Milwaukee Short line trains last
night received notifications to the eff
feet that they are 'permently re-
moved" from the service aud directed
to turn over their trains to new men,
who are to take charge.A force of Pink
erton detectives is to have charge
OF the collection of the tickets. and the
new conductors will simply run the
trains. The discharged conductors are
indignant at the treatment they have
received. Several have been employed
by the road from twelve to fifteen
wears, and do not relish being dis
charged without cause, and in manner
calculated to reflect upon their reputa-
tons for honesty. One of them said
last night:
1t looks as though we were suspected of
knocking down. but we never had chance
to- if we wanted to steal. The gatemen at
St Paul and Minneapolis punch the tickets.
The amount of cash paid over to conductors
by passengers on the Short line would not
average 75 cents day.

LONDON, July 19.-At the meeting of
Conservatives, held to-day in the Carl
ton club, it was decided that if general
hostility should be manifested in the
house of commons against the bank
ruptcy clauses of the Irish land bill, the
government would find a substitute for
them. Some differences of opinion were
developed as to the adyisability of
meddling with Irish rents, but it was
finally decided to provide for a reduc-
ton on sliding scale and upon certain
conditions. No mention was made of
an autumn session. All the references
made concerning the Liberal UniOnistS
were of cordial nature. The above is
generally understood to cover the
preuierS policy.

LONDON, July 19.-Lord Salisbury'S
speech at the CareltOn club to-day was
the last straw upon the back of the
Overburdened Conservative camel. 1t
was not only confession of the govern
ments weakness, but also frank adj
mission that the Conservative party is
entirely at the mercy of the UniOnists.
Several of the most uncompromising
Tories present were disposed to resent
the premier'S concessions to the govern
ment'S UnioniSt allies and to declare
the independence of the Tory party of
any party or faction not holding OrthO-
doX Tory views, but those of them who
were not convinced on the spot will
shortly be made to see that the COnServ-
ativeS are anything but independents.
Bad party management, Oyer-contldence
and
SHORT-SIGHTEDNESS
in their warfare against Gladstone have
resulted in the Tory cabinets being led
into ambush. and they must get out as
best they can. The Tories cannot now
break with the UniOnists. nor can the
UniOnistS withdraw from their alliance
with the Conservatives. Neither can
stand alone. Both are afraid to appeal
to the country III the race OF lne nOpeIul
feeling as indicated in the recent cleo
ti0ns. and there is nothing left for them
to do but to maintain the present rela-
tions or go to the wall. The late elec-
tions denote that the electors throughout
the country are weary of the trimming
tactics of the government. and are
anxious for an appropriation to give
force to their
CHANGED OPINIONS
through the medium of the ballot box.
The coercion bill has appealed to the
sentiment of the people and the land
bill to their pockets. The latter being
the more sensitive spot with the prole-
tarat. there will in many parts of the
country be a greater howl over the adj
iustment of rents than could be excited
among the same people over the eXter-
mination of the whole Irish race EX-
eepti n Hornsey, where at the last cleo
ton the conservative candidate was re-
turned without opposition, and conse-
quently there can be no comparison, the

indicate the drift of public and party

encouraging to the ministerialists or
their allies
